Group lessons for children and teens
We run childrens group lessons in English for kids and teens all season long in Verbier, even in the quiet weeks, for ages 3-16 years. The perfect way to make friends and have a blast on the hill, our small groups are run by our fantastic children’s instructors who are are fully qualified and first aid trained, and absolutely love teaching kids as well.
We will never cancel your childrens group lessons group when your place has been confirmed. However if your child is the only one booked in, we may reduce the running time of the group.
Polar Bears Club
Our small groups are split by ability level, so no matter if it’s your little one’s first time on skis or they’re already cruising the mountain, they’ll improve in a fun environment with our dedicated qualified Polar Bear instructors.
Our groups are up to 4 children per instructor in the off-peak weeks of the season. In the busy weeks we are lucky to have our trainee instructors on hand to provide extra support and increase the safety of the group, so in these weeks we have up to 6 children with both an instructor and a trainee to offer extra support to the group, therefore an adult:child ratio of 2:6. .
Together with our partners ‘Petit Verbier’, we also offer a full day option which includes skiing in our morning Polar Bear Club with an add-on afternoon of a hot lunch and exciting indoor and outdoor activities. If you are interested in adding on the full day option, please contact our office as we have to check the availability with the Petit Verbier team for each booking.
